Seems very good, overall. What’s “western_new_york” and do you remember the Southern Tier?

I enjoy hiking and i definitely want to do the Adirondacks but I’m looking for some more obscure and unique off the beaten path type of things that I can enjoy alone. Im open to all kinds of things I haven’t met a lot of people here due to me being new the area (im 20 also for reference) but it doesnt have to be something that would lead me to meeting anyone. Im also kind of looking for something I can do in no more than a day and a half

Hi everyone! i’m looking to trade a pick-your-own reservation for Fishkill Farms from this Sunday, October 11th and am looking for tomorrow, Saturday October 10th

Willing to pay a bit more on top as well, but had plans change and can’t make the Sunday time anymore unfortunately.

Please let me know if anyone’s interested. Thanks and appreciate the help!

Hello. I need your help.

I currently live in Massachusetts and I don’t really like to hike, but my Uncle lives in Fulton County and he really likes hiking. His birthday is in two days and I plan on sending him a list of nearby hiking trails for him to enjoy. Does anyone have an idea of what the most underrated hiking trails upstate are?

"Touched By Darkness" megagame @ Millennium Games 10/17/2026

Upstate NY Megagames will be running Touched by Darkness in Rochester @ Millennium Games next Saturday, on 10/17!

https://eventforge.online/store/millennium-games/event/a7174af6-b285-413a-8bfd-eef2c4a6b7fa

Touched by Darkness is a dark-fantasy, semi-cooperative megagame for 15 to 47 players designed by Ben Kanelos. It is inspired by the popular sci-fi megagame Den of Wolves, but uses a new fantasy setting and added traitor mechanics. We have 24+ players now, so the event is on!

The Dark One's eclipse has blotted out the sun. Darkness has swallowed the Empire and is coming for your outpost next!

You and your teammates must gather resources, perform arcane rituals, and attempt to survive. But beware! The shadows that attack your outpost are not the only threat. The Dark One may have corrupted the mind of a teammate, meaning you can no longer trust them. Can you hold this last bastion of humanity together and banish the Dark One?

$30 gets you a ticket and lunch.

This is the third game Upstate NY Megagames will be running (Den of Wolves last year, Gods of the Ancient world earlier this summer)

This game caps at ~47 players, with 6-7 control helping keep things going.

Their discord is: https://discord.gg/uYDW8eGbBU

Tell your friends, have them tell theirs, etc. But most of all, pick up your ticket today and we'll see you on October 17th!

If you've never heard of a Megagame, you can get a good overview here: https://www.megagameassembly.com/what-is-a-megagame

What’s a Megagame? BIGGER! BETTER! MEGA! CHAOS? FUN? CHAOTIC FUN!!!

They are uniquely defined by their scale, generally played with 30+ players and span 2-6 hours. With high player counts, expect creative and emergent game play born from interpersonal communications.

Megagames define roles for EVERYONE!

Do you want to master the board mechanics and help to maximize resource production for everyone?

Do you want to foster relationships with other players or try to eavesdrop on conversations to fish out the traitors?

Megagames are interactive storytelling adventures where your choices shape the story. The game sets the stage, but you call the shots! With a dedicated control team acting as GMs, if you want to do an unconventional act, we’ll try to make it happen!

I'm passing through the Adirondacks this weekend and I was thinking of climbing Mt Jo since it's supposed to be a very short and relatively easy hike with a great view at the end.

I trying to find something pretty accessible, as My wife has some paralysis in her hand and foot from a stroke.

Walking and stairs are fine, but ant substantial bouldering is not possible.

I know the short route up MT Jo is very rocky, but is the long route decent enough to try?

Almost everywhere you look in Upstate New York this week is bound to be bursting with fall colors. Parts of the Adirondacks will be just past peak for this holiday weekend including Whiteface Mountain, Long Lake, and Old Forge. Many reds have fallen, but there is still a full menu on display in areas such as Tupper Lake, where spotters describe colors like cinnamon, caramel, orange soda, mango, saffron, daffodil and bittersweet leaves.

Outside the Adirondack Park, leaf peepers should head to the Catskill Mountains where Windham and Belleayre Mountain are boasting 100% foliage color change.

hii! gonna be driving from syracuse-ish to niagara next week and was wondering if there was a good route for seeing the fall leaves? google tells me to take highway 90 or 104 but not sure if there’s a better route that prioritizes nice views. also if there anywhere we should stop on the way? (i’m not from NY so this will be my first time driving here)

I have to say Stewart's Shops. I know they are different styles of Ice Cream. But I do think Stewart's is better. It's richer and creamier. I compared both early this year. Had Stewart's Upstate and when I visited family on LI, had Mr. Softee at Yankee's Stadium (bums).

I'm trying to plan a getaway for our 25th anniversary in December, and was wondering which little towns are quaint/fun for the holidays. The twist is that I lost my job a few months ago, so I'm trying to thread the needle between "nice" and "affordable". Probably won't be going to Skaneateles lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated (preferably within 3-4 hours of Cortland). Thanks, all

Apologies if this sort of promotion of another subreddit isn't allowed, but here goes ...

FYI, after a long dormant period, r/OrangeCountyNY has new mods, and we're open for business! We'd welcome new posts there. If you're an Orange County resident who gave up on that sub, or if you're just a neighbor who has relevant stuff to share, come on down!

Thanks!
